There are nearly 300 munros in Scotland and hill walking and climbing these peaks is a favorite pastime in Scotland. In fact the 'sport' is called munro bagging and serious climbers aim to 'compleat' them or bag them all. This may take a few weeks or even decades depending on how often you go hill walking.
